How much money do you need to make to be happy in Massachusetts? We now have the answer and we don’t think you’ll like it very much. But before we get there, let’s take a look at what makes someone happy.
In a study by the website www.study.com, it’s the quality of your relationships that is key.

It’s very easy to believe that having lots of money will make you happy. And the simple answer is yes because having more money gives you more choices of how to live your life. You can live your live on your terms. When you’re living paycheck to paycheck, there aren’t as many choices. Now the next question would be, exactly how much money must one make in order to be happy?
